Key Features

• Remanufactured under stringent quality standards for dependable operation
• Electronic module supplied for applications that require it
• 100% new points and condensers installed where applicable
• Computer-tested electronic module components for full functionality
• Automated test equipment checks signal strength, polarity, air gap, reluctor tooth size, ignition coil performance, and pickup performance
• Precision machining helps prevent oil leakage, timing issues, check engine light concerns, and premature failure
• Meets or exceeds O.E.M. performance requirements
• Guaranteed fit and function

Detailed Description

Cardone 30-1498 is part of the Distributor product line, focused on remanufactured ignition components that restore proper spark timing and stable engine operation. This magnetic coil distributor is gray in color, does not include a distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, or integrated ignition coil, and is configured for 6-cylinder engines. For drivers searching for a remanufactured distributor for a 1975-1977 Chevrolet Monza, 1976-1977 Oldsmobile Starfire, or 1976-1977 Pontiac Sunbird, this unit provides a direct replacement built to OE-level standards. This part cross-references Pontiac 1110538 and 1110539 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent ignition timing
• Misfire conditions related to worn distributor components
• Rough idle from poor spark delivery
• Oil leakage from worn distributor machining surfaces
• Check engine light concerns tied to distributor performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration before installation and confirm the distributor type matches the vehicle’s ignition system. Because the distributor cap, rotor, and coil wire are not included, transfer or source those components as needed for the application. After installation, set ignition timing according to factory service specifications and inspect wiring connections, air gap, and pickup alignment.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured distributors are tested with automated equipment and computer verification to confirm signal quality and electronic module function. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs high-failure OE components and uses precise machining tolerances to support reliable fit and performance.
